'A perfect tool for abuse.' Why experts are concerned about ICE's $17 million electric shock gloves contract

While ICE says the new gear will help agents deescalate situations with detainees or protesters without relying on "higher levels of force," Democrats in Congress and civil rights advocates are pushing back, in no small measure because of the agency's history of deadly clashes.

AI Efficiency Could Cost Us the Next Generation of Experts
A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely needed them. And we made a decision that, to an efficiency-minded observer, looked backward: We deliberately left manual steps inside sequences the system could execute on its own. We were solving a specific problem. An operator who only ever supervises automation slowly stops being an operator. The hands go cold. The mental model of what the plant is actually doing gets fuzzy. Then comes the day the automation hands control back. It’s always the worst day, because automation only quits when it’s confused or in trouble. But by then, you have a person in the chair who hasn’t truly operated the thing in years. The man

NASA’s Cargo-Moving Robotic Arm Named 300th IEEE Milestone
In the 1960s NASA began developing a system of reusable space shuttles to make its work more efficient and to reduce costs. The shuttles could launch like rockets, maneuver in Earth’s orbit, and land like airplanes. They also could carry large satellites to and from orbit. Like other types of transportation, machinery eventually breaks down, and parts need to be replaced or fixed. And the cargo being carried to and from Earth has to be moved to its final destination. To complete such tasks, Spar Aerospace (now part of MDA Space ) of Brampton, Ont., Canada, and the National Research Council in Ottawa developed a robotic arm, the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System . The project was a joint venture between the U.S. and Canadian governments. Known as Canadarms , the robotic tools attached to shuttles’ exteriors. They allowed astronauts to handle and transfer tools, satellites, and other paylo
